The Citizens
Internet Empowerment Coalition at the Wayback Machine (archived April
24, 1999) came together to oppose Congress' first attempt to regulate
material published on the Internet, the Communications Decency Act, which
the U.S. Supreme Court found unconstitutional on June 26, 1997. Their site
is being preserved as a resource on the landmark CDA case.

You can read the
June 1996 appeals court decision at the Wayback Machine (archived
December 01, 2001) rejecting censorship of the Internet. But remember, this
decision is not final! First, the Supreme Court will agree or
disagree; then Congress gets a chance to look for another method of
censorship.
